Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for the Bobby Bones post show. Here's your host, Bobby Bones. Oh, everybody, all vacation, I took notes of everything was happening. Bonjourno, Principia. Oh, bonjourno. I just all wouldn't forget because I just wanted to have stuff to talk about

but then I don't even know what I wrote in some of them What do you mean? Because he wrote it in Italian True That's definitely not it True But that app

The Translate app does come in quite handy Because I would be like I go to translate And I would go See I do French to English I would do how much Hold on But I wouldn't say this to

I mean I wouldn't show them my screen How much is this Lasagna. Shirt. So hit it, and then I go like this. Then I... You would play it the phone to them? No, no, no, no, no.

I would read it, and then I would listen to it on my ear and then try to say it to them. Okay. So, let me change to French. But it's so good. And you can even take pictures of, like, labels, and it'll translate it for you. Technology, man, wild.

One day, I can't wait to figure out how they get places overnight. Oh, packages? Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. makes no sense. What's funny is... No, stop.

No, no. You guys started agreeing with me that you're right. No, we didn't. Something from California by here, eight in the morning from eight at night. Yeah, no.

That's what I was saying. That's not, that doesn't happen. That's not... Okay. That doesn't happen. Oh my gosh. That is exactly what I said

from the beginning and you guys called me stupid and then you guys came to my side and realized, you know what, actually the lunchbox is right. That's really not how to happen. You can order something at noon from California

and it would be the next day. Mm-hmm. But not like midnight. How much is this shirt? It's exactly what I said from the beginning, but whatever. I understand Amazon has like a warehouse, so it's a lot easier. But when you're ordering it from a specific store and it gets there that quick, it's unbelievable. Thank you.

That is what I was saying. Like if you're going to academy or not academy, that's too big. Like a specific store that's in California only. All right, cool. Ordering this and they get it to you within 12 hours. Yeah, and they get it to you within 12 hours. That's unbelievable. 12 hours.

That's plenty of time. Oh, God. How do you say how much is this shirt in French? You didn't say that. There's no way you said that. No way. How do you? How do you can't console in a don't be in French?

Yeah, they'd be like, huh? Just speak English, dude. I wouldn't do it that hard. But yeah, so anyway, the app's pretty good. But they all know English, right? Yeah, here's the thing. They almost just liked it that I tried. But Americans, they're the worst.

They're. They don't like us? No, it's not they don't like us. Americans feel so entitled to everything. They're always the loudest. Oh, man. Who is? Exactly.

Like we'd be somewhere, and the person that was just like carrying on with the waiter was always an American. No. I know. It's tough. It made me look at my actions as compared to everybody else. And I feel like I'm a pretty polite patron anyway. But yeah, it's tough. I met some listeners.

I met listeners all over the place. We were in a hotel in Florence, Italy. Oh, yeah. And we were a hotel in Florence, Italy. They listen in Italy? Nope, but as an elevator and two listeners from South Carolina, we're like, uh, Bob Bowens? Like, yeah.

In Italy. And then we got at the airport in Naples, Italy, two listeners from Wisconsin came up to us. And then we're like, I know this is weird because we're not in the same country, but we take a picture. I posted it. Ran into this listeners Rome. There's a Naples, Italy? And you guys say we're not famous. Oh, my gosh.

No, Naples, Italy, yeah. Okay. I didn't know that is. But, um, so we went to Florence for a couple days, 3, 3, then to Rome, did the Coliseum, did all that stuff, then to, it's not called Ravioli, but it's called like Rivoli or something. It's like, it's the Amalfi Coast. Ravioli.

Never heard of it. Revole. Chef Boy, Rai. You know about the Amalfi Coast, right? You always talk about it. I don't know the individual cities, but all I know is the athletes all go Amalfi Coast. Yeah. What athletes?

Riv. LeBron. I don't know what it's called. But we went there. I just know that it's We did that And then we were like Ah, screw it

Let's go to Paris Because I'd never been I studied French And we flew We got on a flight Flew to Paris That wasn't part of your trip Not at all

Which place had better food Italy or Paris Italy by far But Paris was way Paris was awesome Yeah? Yeah It was

It was I mean They don't have skyscrapers Right Any of the major cities In Europe For the most part Oh really?

The buildings are Long and they're old but they're wide. There's like no alleys. They just take up all that, but they don't go tall. But Paris was super cool. I never been.

You've been to Paris? No, I actually wanted to go this last vacation, but then I ended up, we would have been planning it. No, we would have been planning at two last minute. My cousin and I, we were, I just needed, we needed more time for planning. So maybe next summer?

Let me see what we were going to say he got your passport in the door. He got half of it. She couldn't get all the way in. So my question is, Like the Eiffel Tower, do you climb stairs? Do you get to the top of it? Or like, what do you do?

Is there a ramps? It's called ramps. Like, you know, like a ramp, like a stadium. Like, an elevator? Ravelo. What is that? I thought it was Ravioli. It's Ravelo.

It's back to Italy. Got it. We left France, back to Italy. I'm just trying to remember the name of it. We didn't go up in the Fattower. We just went to it. But can you go up in it? You can again now.

Yes. We did. We thought about it. Big, little, normal. You know. Does it look like the one in Vegas? When we drove into the city at first, I thought, that thing's not as big as I thought it was.

But then once we got to it, it was pretty big. Okay. But it's not a monster, but it's cool. And I don't think anything's cool. That's cool to hear you say that something was cool. I just always saw it on TV, right? That stuff to me is like alien, because I never thought I would go to another country

and to actually see that Eiffel Tower. Like, I thought it was so cool. To go on the Coliseum. That's, yeah, it's awesome. Was Betty, like, romantic? What? You know what was interesting about Paris was I thought that my wife would be exaggerating,

but she's like, hey, in Paris, everybody dresses up even to walk down the street, because she had been once before. And I was like, no, they don't. I'm just going to wear my sweats. Dude, they dress up to walk down the street. Like, people are put together just at... Oh, that place sucks.

At 11 a.m. That's cool. No, it's not. Yeah, it is. Being dressed up to go get a bite to eat. That's miserable. That's just their culture, man. You even say a bite to eat.

I mean, that sounds a bit elevated. A bite to eat. That's what they, that's what they, oh, that's what they, oh, let's go get a bite. But it's a different, it's a different world over there. I don't say that. It's not, I liked it. I liked Paris. Do you try cheeses?

It felt safe. Yeah, fine. Oh, just fine? Yeah, it's good. Are they known for cheese? Yeah. French cheese. But I don't really, I don't experiment a lot.

Like she, Caitlin tried some cheese. It was really crazy. And she was like, oh, this is awful. But awful in like a beautiful way of it's so different. The food in Italy was really good. We're back in Italy. Yeah, we're going back. The pizza in Italy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that like? It's not like you go to Italy and you have great Italian food like in America. You know if you have a great Italian food here, it's like, that was the best. That spaghetti, that whatever was so good. Their version of it isn't like. like our best version of their food. It's not like Pizza Hut?

No. We had pizza and I was like, I'll take this and they brought it out and I sent Eddie a picture of and he's like that does not look like pizza. No, it was weird looking. Right. And because it's not the same.

And like whatever slices were on there were really big. It was a block of cheese. But it was so tasty. They just don't, their good version of their food is not like our great version of their food. Our great version of their food.

They put Parmesan cheese They don't walk around and grind, no pepper, none of the thing like that. Wow. But you can eat bread and desserts all day long, pretty much, not getting any weight because there's no processed foods at the restaurants. You can go to the gas station, get whatever out of a package, but they don't serve no processed foods like a law.

So in Italy, did you see Kanye? He was there when we were there, but I did not see him. It's a big country. I don't know if you imagine that. Yeah, no, no, I mean. But you name the city, what cities do you go to again? Rome, Florence, Rome, and Ravioli. Oh, he was in Venice.

Did you do gondola? Were you on a boat or anything? No, we didn't go there. That is a different place. Venice. That's Venice. That's where Kanye is. He's banned from the city now. Why? Because they did a lewd act on one of the boats. Classic. They did it? I don't know if did it.

Something lewd. Yeah. You can check out online. But let me read some notes, but it was really cool. I mean, it was. When you're walking in Paris, do you just hear a cordial? music all the time? There's a lot of music around. It's pretty clean. It's amazing. Yeah. I'm not impressed by much anymore because I'm just jaded because one, I'm like, well, I don't want to like it too much because I'll never get to come back or I'm just like, ah, I've seen a lot.

But growing up in Arkansas, I never thought I'd leave the country to do stuff like Paris and Rome. It's, it really is cool. Did you ride the underground? No, we didn't get a train. Okay. We thought about taking the train to Paris. I wanted to take a train, Because again, I'm like a six-year-old. I'm like, let's just go from ravioli to Paris in a train. Ravioli. And she was like, we can do that. And she's having to treat me like a child because I am.

I'm like, I'll go on a train. Yeah. And she's like, so we look up the tickets and it's 12 hours. And you can sleep overnight. And I was like, oh, it'll be. That'd be awesome. Yeah, but they have like a restaurant cart and all that. And she was like, yeah, look it all up.

And it wasn't. I think I was romanticizing it more than it really was. I did once when I went from North Carolina to D.C. I took Amtrak. And I had it very much romanticized. Yeah, she was at her. She goes, I know what you think it would be fun. And if we need to do it, we will. But she's like, you'll just be happy if we fly. Okay. And it was very cheap. It was like 80 bucks each to fly to one to the other. Wow. So yeah, it was really good. Let's see here. The Mona Lisa. Yes. So I'll post some pictures of this. I haven't posted yet. I'll post it on my Instagram in a few minutes. Mr. Bobby Bones. We go to the Louvre, which by the way, that thing, you can't see every exhibit in there because it's 27 miles long. What do you call it the Loo? Louvre? That was a luge. 27 miles? It's a that of a...

They have that much art. Dude, it's arts and sculptures and it's amazing. And we got a headset. And at the Louvre in Paris, I think that's how you say it, right? The Louvre. I think, I don't know. I thought it was L'Verve. No. Lerve. It's outspelt.

I know it's like Brett Fabere. Brett Fabra. So, um, the Luge is that thing you, at the Luzes. Olympics. Bob sled team. Got it. I still may be saying the Louvreong, but I don't think I am.

But you can get these headsets for like a buck and you put it on and each exhibit has a number on it. And you have the headset on, you type 1330. And it tells you like the two-minute story of it, which is really cool. But how long can, I mean, how long can that be interesting? Like, I've been to a art place in New York. Louvra is how it said. And like, after about 30 minutes, I'm like, okay, cool. Like, they're art.

Lovra. But I've never heard anybody say Louvre. Me either. Mike, will you listen to that? Because it says Louvre. Unless that's in French. We as Americans may just go like... Louvre.

Louvre. So what other artists are you listening to it? What's it say? Very French. Oh, it is. So if I said like, hey, I went to Louvrela. We'll call it to Louvre. They have like vangos in there and stuff.

Oh, dude, that's all Starry Night. You did? That one's there. It's not tiny at all. Stop talking. I saw it at the Met. You didn't. Okay.

It's not tiny. I have a picture of me standing beside it. You saw a replica at the Met. So here's the thing about Van Gogh. I saw it at Michaels. It was in a frame. Hey, did you really see it, lunchbox? Were you far away? No.

They're hobby-lovy. Amy, do you want to see it? Let me show you a picture of it so I can show you that it's not tiny. Amy, please come over here. Is he thinking about a different... I don't know. There are two stories about it, but I'm going to tell you this. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

So this, that is not a small painting. That's story night. Okay. That's not a small painting. That's like the screen. That's not a small painting. Hey, you? You think that's small?

You? Okay. Do you think that's small? That TV? I'm telling you. But so that's me. He's Googling how big is a story night. I have a picture of me standing beside it.

I know. Okay. Yeah, I just wanted you see that. So, so he gazed an impression. right and he starts and Van Gogh is one of the guys that starts to do outdoor landscapes and he's using um quick strokes and now he's asking his wife yeah I'm asking her I have a picture of it I guess but but it's size is relative no no no that's big Amy that's big I know but to me it's probably it's probably four foot on the bottom long to him okay so then we didn't see that she said not story night something else I don't know oh so you're not even talking about it oh my gosh so we just

did all that okay so anyway like I said I saw so I'm dumb painting and it was like a lot smaller in person. Like I said. I wanted to see a lot of the stuff that I'd say that was like, that you just hear about it. It's famous, right? Because I don't know much about art. And so we go to Starry Night and I'm learning about,

and I went to the Van Gogh exhibit when it was here to look at some of the stuff. Remember that when they did that? Oh wait, maybe we did. She said, and we saw it at the MoMA, whatever's the MoMA is. And it wasn't that big. Immersive Van. Don't talk to him. I'm ignoring them.

I'm ignoring them. Thank you. So, was it small? But say, parentheses, the painting. Prince is the painting. So, so he paints this story night, right? Van Gogh does.

Yes. Now, he then starts to, I mean, he has a lot of trouble, psychological issues anyway. Mental health. He then, his mental health gets really bad, and he paints it again when he's in a bad mental health. And that's the crazier one. Oh, the blurry one?

two versions. Oh, there's two. That's how he saw Starry Night when he was in a far less positive mental health space. Weird. There are two starry nights. There's one where he's healthy and one when he's not. Well, maybe that's the one lunchbox saw, the smaller one. Thank you.

You guys act like I'm crazy. I tell you stuff and you're like, oh, then you just told us it wasn't even the right painting. Well, then my wife's like, oh, yeah, we did. But I guess we never went to the Met. I've only heard of the Met because the Met gala, I guess it's something called Loma. See, that's our point. You're just making stuff up. Yeah, it was about two feet, five inches high.

That's it. That's it. Thank you. Thank you. What is? Starry night, the one we saw. Eat it. Okay, but I'm talking about this.

At the Loo. I'm just telling you what I said was small. But I'm talking about at the Lube. I know. I'm literally looking at the Lube. You guys said it was an idiot. That's the size of this piece of paper. That's nothing about the size it was.

And I said it was small and you guys said I was stupid. No, I said the story night that I saw it at the Lube. I'm just telling you, I saw a story night and it was small. And you're like, no, you didn't. It's not small. it's the size of that TV. So was it on, like, shipped over and on loan for the Momon? I don't know about that one.

I saw the original one. I saw the first one. The original story night. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I saw the original story night. Why does the Louvre rig get all the paintings? I don't know, but you know what I learned to?

In lieu of. Now, we know how we use it. But if I say da-da-da-da, da-da, what does that mean? Instead of. Right. So a lot of the paintings in the Louvre are in, Louvre in lieu of, not because of Louvre, but because people would owe taxes to the government. And instead of taking money that they didn't have or putting in jail, they would take, in lieu of taxes, they would take art.

Wow. And they would take, et cetera. That was where in lieu of came from. It was 27 miles long. We ran right to the Mona Lisa. I saw a couple other things. But we had done that. We went to, Starry nights, was in a different place, I believe.

believe that wasn't where was David David was in Italy oh damn that's right that's right so who did that Michelangelo Michelangelo Michelangelo

and Da Vinci did Dominicita now the Mona Lisa now the Mona Lisa you would think is smaller in real life except everybody keeps saying how small it is

so I expected it to be like six inches tall like a two feet by like a deck of cards yeah but it actually was it's just a normal

less painting it's cool I got a picture of that too. Anyway, for me... Can you take pictures of it? I thought you weren't supposed to take... No flash. Because the flash will end up fading.

Correct. And if you take a flash, they'll kick your butt out. And it's like 13 layers of people deep trying to get up to the front. Dang, that's so crazy, dude. They had ropes around ours. Okay.

Yeah, they had ropes around too, but people were like fighting up like the front of a music festival. What are you talking about? Where? At the Momo? Yes. Okay.

We're not talking about the MoMo. But I'm just telling you how they had it blocked off. Bobby went to the real thing and you keep interrupting. He could have seen the second one. I know, but I don't care about his Mo Mo Trip. I want to hear about your Paris trip. I said it was small and I...

No, no, no. For sure. Okay, so you said there's a lot of art there, 27 miles or something. It would take around 200 days to see each works of art there if you spent 30 seconds at each piece of art. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. Wow.

Phones, did you see a Picasso there? Not there, but in the other one I did. There's another museum that I think is where we saw the Starry Night. The one we went to before that one, there's this in Paris. Maybe that one wasn't the Louvre. But wherever that was, I think I saw it, Picasso there. It's amazing. But I don't know.

And honestly, I don't, I don't, dude, they all look this. I mean, a lot of them look this. Yeah, but we've heard of these things. Exactly. Like, I don't have, like, the palate. I don't have, like, a sophisticated palette. Like, when you drink wine, you're like, hmm. This is a 1987.

The grape seemed to be a little low. The temperature was, I don't know that. Did Mona Lisa follow you? I don't think so. I don't know. Your eyes? But I did see the, um, Victory that head chopped off, the big victory, saw David.

Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah. Penis small. Surprisingly small? I took so many pictures of small penises on statues. I would just go back and look at it in my room, be like, he-he-h-h-h-h-h. Are these statues in, like, museums, or are they out in the city? Both. Penes everywhere you look.

What about the Venus? Someone without the arms. Do you see that one? Mm-hmm. That's pretty cool. Sure did. Did you know, especially in Italy, they were saying how they would cut the arms or the tips of the nose off of statues to show that they were superior to them.

Oh, the craziest thing was learning about how the Roman Empire fell. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that like, like, knowing that Rome just ruled the world. Let me pause 30 seconds for a mid-roll. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.

You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way. this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And Rule 2, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.

I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends.

Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Ego Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell.

Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, And dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.

Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be.

Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you. We're back. Okay. Like Rome. I'm going to mess some of this up.

But yes, the Roman Empire was massive, right? And the two things, because I am, yes, at times I get nerdy. Like they crucified Jesus. I hired a guide to take me around the town and show me this stuff and teach me this stuff. So I had a specialist walk me through. And I was like, teach me about the Roman Empire. So this is what's up. This is basically what I, what they told me what I was like, break it down for me like I'm five years old.

The Roman Empire got so big that imagine you have a balloon. Okay. And the balloon is, there's no air in it, but you're just stretching it over a thing. And you're like, I'm going to take some more and you stretch it more. Eventually, it's going to start to break because it's so much. You can stretch for a long, but eventually you can have so much coverage. It's going to start to rip here. So that starts to happen where the empire gets so big.

Not only that, whenever they flipped over to Christianity, this is the craziest part. It's the worst thing they could have done. Because as soon as they said, okay, we're all now Christians, the soldiers are like, well, we're Christians. We don't want to fight anymore. So they didn't fight and they got taken over. Wow. Because Christians are taught, you know, turn the other cheek. Sure.

Don't fight. Peace. So as soon as the, the soldiers. The whomever. The Roman. Yeah. The leader was like, okay, we're now officially all Christian. They're like, okay, well, since we're all Christian, we don't fight anymore.

So this was all after the resurrection of Christ. So they gave, so that's how they lost it. Wow. That's how the Roman Empire fell. generally. And what was that city like? Like, what did that... Well, which one?

Rome. Just to think that that was the most powerful place in the world. I like Paris better. But Rome was cool. I'm glad I went to Rome first and Paris second. Paris felt safer. Oh, really? Do you understand the statement, like, when in Rome...

Mm-hmm. So, like, what did you... Oh, yeah, good. Where does that come from? So you were there. So you were there. What'd you do? Rapes, naked?

I got a shield. I got a shield and ran out on this. Swart fighting folks. Winning Rome. But it just means like fit in. Right. Don't be an idiot. Oh.

That's what that saying means. I know the saying, but I'm like, why is it, when in Rome? Do as the Romans. It could have been anywhere, I think. Okay. So we went to the Coliseum. Yeah. And so I hired a guide for that too.

And it's crazy. I think aliens built a thing. Because it's so complex? There's no way. That, what, the humans did that? There's no. Did your guide say that? No.

All the chambers and everything down there? She was like, aliens? I was like, aliens. And she was like, no. And I was like, you're going to tell me this crap where nobody else had this technology and they carried this stuff? They marble. They carried marble from wild.

Like what? Like what? What was so cool? What did you? No, it was just the technology of how they built. Would you call it technology? Oh, yeah. That's technology, right?

Yeah. Anything that's new? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if it's aliens, but I just think that there was a lot of really smart people that knew a lot of really smart things at some point. And they're done. Yeah, I mean, they would have architects built stuff

and then kill them. Dang. Why? Why would they kill them? So they wouldn't tell the secrets of how they built it? They don't even know who built a colosseum. They don't? And there's some other stuff too.

And if I'm wrong on this, screw it. I don't care. I'm just telling you what I think I remember. So, it's any history class. It's not even what your guy told me. Yeah, yeah. No, that she did. She was like,

that's what you think you remember she said. Mike, will you Google? Yeah. Will you Google who did? Because they're like, there's not really a, somebody we credit to actually build, like, building the Coliseum. Yeah, that's so cool. But at times the Coliseum was used for, in like, the dark ages.

It was used for like a house and people would, like, use as like a safe haven like big rich people. So let's see here. Let me read this. The Coliseum's construction was ordered under the rule of la la la. After the emperor died, it was completed by his son. The construction was done by Jewish slaves who were overseen by Roman architects, engineers, and artists, they don't know who the architect.

They don't know who the main architect was. And then there's another thing they built outside of it. As soon as he finished, they killed him. They would just do that. They didn't want anybody to have cut it. Dang. It's crazy, man. It's crazy, man.

It's so much history. Just because we've been around for like 200 years here. Yeah. I say we, we stole this from the Native Americans. Like we, we're big,

we're big old thieves. But yeah, that's it. It was a good time. I learned a lot. Or I think I learned some stuff. I don't know if I know it still. But flight wasn't that bad.

All right. So you got those two countries out of the way. Where do you want to go to next? Spainia? I never was planning to, we were never planning to go to, um. Paris. So that was super cool.

But, you know, we tried to go a year ago, but my wife was really, really, really sick. She was done with some crazy health stuff. And so we put it off and then just went this time. I think, like, like, Barcelona, Spain would be fun. Yes, fine of the motherland. I would like to go to Germany. Okay. Mostly I had to fly golf and play PlayStation.

Just what I did. Yes, like, that's the ultimate. Because I travel a lot, but I can't be selfish like that. Because I travel all the time for work. And self, I'm like, I don't want to travel. I'm going to vacation. And Caitlin's like, no, I would like to travel because she's working from here. So it's like, yeah, so that was it. It was great, though.

Let me look at my nose real quick and I can move off this. 400,000 gladiators died at the Colise. Oh, you ought to hear about the gladiators stuff. What do you mean? So people that were gladiators, most of them were like prisoners. Prisoners? Prisoners of war. Occasionally there would be someone who would just volunteer.

And so you had to fight 10 fights and you would be put back in freedom to a year. It was like UFC. So if you fought 10 and you got through 10 fights, you would be, you would be, you would then freed. Did they fight to the death? Not always. Okay. So they could lose.

And the emperor, if there was a pinky, it wasn't, because I did like thumbs up, thumbs down. Yeah. Yeah. And because my, the humor, my humor and my Italian translator slash guide. The humor didn't match. And I'd be like making jokes about gladiator, thumb up, thumb down. She goes, no, pinkie.

It was like if they exposed their pinky, they were allowed to. So sometimes they would lose, but they would still be allowed to live. But sometimes they would kill them. Maybe because it was like a good fight. They were entertained. There was one emperor who would go out and he would have like one of the barbarians, one of the gladiators, arms or legs broken. And then he considered himself to be a fighter.

So then he'd go out and fight them with like a broken. an armor leg. What a loser. Dang. It's disgusting. That's gross. That's messed up, dude. He's like, I beat him. I won. What is wrong in the people? Spartacus. I am Spartacus. Mike, will you look up the pinky thing?

And then I'll finish these notes and I'll move. That's really cool, man. I put a lot of castor oil on my belly button to see if that would work. Maybe you ever heard about that? Caster oil? Any belly button? I've heard about it like, Washington. my face with it a long time ago. So I've, I BS real bad when I travel.

You can also consume it. Yeah, you consume it. It's Diary Central. Yeah, I mean, with caution. But they said if you just put it in your belly button, like it, you absorb it through your stomach. Oh, yeah. I think it might have worked a little bit, but I'm not sure. I didn't have it long enough because we got on a flight and had to throw it away.

This is like motor oil? What is this? No, it's not castrol. It's castor oil. D-A-S-T-O-R. It's, how would you, what is castor oil? Because I don't know. I mean, I don't know what you use it for other than it looks just like oil.

To me, it's kind of yellow liquid, thick. And then that's what I would use when I was washing my face with oil. I went through that phase, you know. I would use castor. We did a cooking class in Florence. You make noodles? We did. Well, it made a lot more than that.

But yes, it was one of the things we did. I say cooking class. It was just literally me and Caitlin at some woman's house. Really? Yeah. She let you in there? How'd you find the woman? We booked her before we got there.

because I guess there's a company and they have people that teach classes from their house but it was me and Caitlin and her she picked us up at our hotel and I was like, are we about to get murdered? And so she took us to her house and then we went in and it was awesome. I think there's pictures of that on my Instagram

but we did learned how to make noodles from scratch some meat thing, I don't know. We made what's that dessert that tastes like coffee kind of? Coffee. Tierra Missou. I learned how to make that.

Okay. It was good. It's fun. And usually I don't have fun doing that kind of stuff. Cooking? Yeah. Doesn't sound fun. Just order it.

But did that. It was good. Let me read some of my notes. Let's see here. Find the biggest wiener on a statue. I looked. They all had tiny, tiny goobs. Who had the biggest?

I thought Zeus would. But I just don't think that was important back then. Because they were so small. But he's also resting. Like, that's resting. But they also weren't cold. They weren't swimming? No.

But, and Kailom's like, are you ever not going to be nine? But maybe they were cold when they were posing. Right, right. What of the room they were in was cold? Like, look at that. Yeah, I saw. Do you have to zoom in so much? I saw.

Is that, did you take it that close or you just zoomed in just now? Like, look at this one. Okay. Like, this is another one. It looks like a belly button on these guys. It looks like an Audi. Can't believe you just took a lot of pictures. I wanted to.

you guys to see. We don't need to see, man. You do. It's unbelievable. Amy, look at this. Just come look at it. Amy. Oh, I see. Isn't that so weird? That little? Yeah. I don't. I got more penis statues. I mean, I could do a whole exhibit of these pictures I have. I was going to say you should do an exhibit on TikTok where you kind of, you talk about it, have them flashing in the background and then you're on the front talking about. What's going on with this? I didn't see a single one that. That's not that small. That's not that bad.

I think you're being harsh with these dudes. When he zoomed in, it doesn't appear, zoomed out with the proportion of the body. It didn't even hang below the scrotum. Just because their big dudes doesn't mean they have big things. But it didn't even hang below the scrotum on a single one of them. I don't know, man. I don't know.

I don't know. It was like a caterpillar on a beanbag. I'm just saying you're being a little harsh with those dudes. There wasn't even, there are all these big ripped dudes and none of them had weeners. Steroids. I've heard of that. I didn't think about that. I did not think about steroids.

Anabolic, HGH. Yep. Dang. Well, that's the trip. And it was good. Okay, so yeah, you can rub, castor oil on the belly and it will soften the boughs. Yeah, that's what they said. I thought it was starting to work a little bit on me.

We were going to places and they would change. I like to eat early. And it's seven hours later there, so our schedule was completely off. So as soon as they opened for lunch, we were ready to eat. 9.30. So we'd be the first ones in there. And they would change the music because we'd be Americans. And so we'd go in and it'd be some kind of Italian something.

Not traditional Olive Garden Italian like we think. But like Italian pop music. But they changed it. And we walked in and two different times they put Dolly Part and Jolene on, two different restaurants. Really? We didn't ask. I think they think all Americans like Jolene. And they're not wrong.

It's a good song. I had the best French toast ever had him a whole life. What do they call it, though? Toast. They call it French toast. They do? and I had it in Paris and it was awesome

and there's no way it should have been that good what made it awesome I don't know it tasted good better than I hop yeah it's really good

that's cool you had the best something that you've ever had in your life over the break because I did too I had the best burger I've ever had

in my entire life really I got it two days in a row water burger and I was bummed I didn't get it the third day because like I was staying

somewhere and I thought oh I'll try the chicken on the third day and I was like should have gotten the burger. And like I will drive back specifically now for the burger. Where did you go? At the, down the road, Leepers Fork. Oh, I thought, oh. There's a restaurant there and

did you guys go stay at that place? The place that locked Caitlin in the room? Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's weird. What? They detained. They detained. Yeah, they detained Caitlin and her mom. I remember that. Because they, they, because she parked. Who knows why. Yeah, crazy. They told me, um, I kind of asked about that because I was just confused. Like, so if we're walking around, or we, what's the odds we get detained for no reason? Exactly. Because that happened to my friend and they were like, oh, that's weird. Well, we just have a lot of, you know, we have a certain high profile, da, da, da.

I said, well, okay. I said, depending on who you ask, who you detained, like could be considered. Not that Caitlin considers herself that way, but there could be listeners or someone that would know her or want to talk to her and they detained her. Like, I don't know how Caitlin and her mom could look like they were shady people showing up. Well, they were just walking from their car. the restaurant and they grabbed them and detained them in a room. I was like, this is a joke?

What's happening? It's so weird. I still can't wrap my mind around it. Did she tell you about it too? Yes, and that's why I tried to ask them about it as well, because I can't fathom that happening, but it sure did. Let's see here. I have these essential oils wristbands.

I don't believe that anything works for motion sickness on me except looking at the road and only keeping my eyes on the room because they get so. motion sick and even then not. But we have these wristbands that can we try, Kael will try everything. She'll buy all this stuff for me to try. And it's an essential oils wristband. You put it on your wrist and it's got a little ball in it that sticks into your wrist at the same time. I don't know that it worked, but it did not work. You didn't get sick? I watched the road, but it didn't not work. Maybe it works. So I'll take a picture of it. If anybody gets it, maybe it'll work for you too. I've used that before and I think it worked. Well, the one thing I think that a little bit

that came and I was like, hey, can you just limit that a little bit? Was I would talk to them in their accent, but in my English. Because I felt like they could understand it better. I'd be like, I need some French to. No. Can you tell? It's got to help a little bit. I agree.

You said like Count Dracula. I would be like. A French, a toast. Yes, I would be like, where do we take our luggage? And she'd be like, why are you doing that in English? I said, because if they know English, at least I'm doing it in their accent. And she was like, I don't know if it works that way. And so I would talk to them in English, but in their accent.

I like it. Is there anywhere we can get a smoothie? Smoothie. Yeah. Eddie, you hung out here. I didn't do anything. It was a staycation. But mainly because my kids, I mean, they're in school.

But I mean, yeah, dude, I think I did what you would have done. I played video games, play golf. That's awesome. That's pretty nice. And I love my favorite. thing was saying like, hey, I'm on vacation. That was my favorite thing. My wife would be like, hey, you want to go work out? I was like,

I'm on vacation. Exactly. I'm not working out today. Love it. It's pretty cool. And Amy, you did a staycation-ish type thing? Yeah, I mean, a couple of nights down there and then the rest of it at home. So we're like, Eddie, it was really nice. I got a lot of stuff done at home. Like stuff I just put off and organizing and then had lots of time with the kids.

Lunchbox, did you go somewhere? Yeah, I went to. Cali and then I went to Florida? No, I went to Cali. I know, but you guys go to Florida. I didn't know if you went back to the devil or not. That's 4th of July. No, no, no. California? Yeah, yeah. But I did find out that maybe it's not Florida that's the devil, that it's kids.

In general? Yeah. Kids are the devil? Yeah, because I tell you, we go to Florida, we get sick, we get hurt, everything happens, just terrible. Well, this vacation, there was some bug one of my kids had and gave it to us all, and we had five days of diarrhea, every single one of us. Oh, my gosh. Like, I mean, I'd be sitting on the toilet and they'd run my son run in. I got to go, I got to go.

And I'd have to jump up and he'd have to go. And then the next one would run in. Just hold him above you and have him to do it when you're in. No, no. Like, if we're in public somewhere, I mean, we had so many like pooped in the underwear instances because of diarrhea. You too? No, not me. But like, I'd wake up in the middle of night.

I'm sorry. And it was awful. He did not deserve that on your vacation. I didn't deserve it. So maybe it was, I was blaming Florida for all these past ones, but we went to California and Colorado this time and still got sick. It's just you. But yeah, but I mean, it was cool.

We went to the beach and then we went to the mountains. We stayed at a YMCA camp in Estes Park and it was awesome. I have a YMCA about my house. Yeah, but you didn't do it out here. Estes Park, man. Up on a mountain. It was amazing. It was cool.

It had so much stuff for the kids. And yeah, I thought we were going to be doing. Well, see, that's the thing. I thought we were going to do a lot of hiking, like doing hikes. but five and three-year-old and one-year-olds, they kind of just want to play basketball and run the bases on a baseball field when you have those at home.

But we did do some hikes, and we did drive up a mountain and do all the lookouts, and we went to the Rocky Mountain National Park and went to the very top of the mountain, which was awesome. I was looking at my steps because we walked a lot. 14,000 on this day, 14,984 on this day, 15,068 on this day.

Well, that's a lot. How many miles does that equal? I don't know. When you say steps, and I don't either, but it was like six miles, seven miles. Okay, that makes more. That's like when we went to Disney. We were averaging 20,000 steps. I'm trying to figure out. How do you do that? Yeah, for like eight days, the average was like 14,000 over eight days, which is pretty good.

14,000 steps is 6.5 miles. There we go. All right, well, we're done here. That's this deal. Anything else? I mean, I'm just Maybe you good? Why are you slapping your phone?

My phone's not coming on. I was trying to see my average stuff for vacation. That's it. You guys, you can And I'm sorry if I... Bobby cast with Dan and Shay up. Go ahead. I'll apologize if I was interrupting

your story night story, but I was... Don't say butt. Just leave it there. I was just insistent that I knew I saw it. That's a good point. Don't say butt in apology. Just apologize and leave the butt out. No, no.

Try it. Try it, try it. I'm apologizing. But I just wanted you to know that I really did. see Starry Night. So I wasn't great. Maybe the second one that wasn't in that location. The original story night is at the MoMA. Guys, when you Google, story night,

its home is at the MoMA in New York. Right here, Eddie. I'm not getting involved. The story night. I'm standing next to Story Night in this picture. MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art is where when you click on it on Wikipedia, its home is at the MoMA. It wasn't there when I was there. It must have been at its summer home. Is that one blurry? Is that one blurry? But you're, okay, lunchbox. Yours is the second one.

Yours is the second one. Yours is that when he was mentally unstable. version. How do you know that? Because I'm looking, I googled it. I googled Starry Night and it says, comes up, it's at the MoMA. Its home is at the MoMA. The ideal way to see Vincent Van goes, the Starry Night is in person at the MoMA, but it's the second blurry one. The first one is in its home in Rome. The Lou. The other one that's in. The other one. The museum, do the other one. The painting. Starry Knights. There's some weird. deal here. Starring Knights. What is that say?

Monor Zaria. I don't know what that is. I'm just saying, I knew I saw it. What if there's not even two? And I knew that it was small. And so I'm just glad that, but I didn't mean to interrupt your story. See, the starring, is it the Starry Knight and Starry Night? Two different paintings? Is it like the, uh, is it like the, uh, what's the movie? The superhero movie? The Suicide Squad and Suicide Squad? No, they're both very famous. Are they both by Van Gogh?

So the starry night is the first one? The starry nights, plural. See, so you saw the starry nights. Or the story night? I don't know. I'm not talking to you. I saw the story night. I saw one night.

There's night in Pittsburgh. We got to figure this out. Midnight in Paris. Starring night. I need to know. Starring night. And then the second one is called what? So what did you see?

Story night over the road. I saw a starry night. It's the first one. The second one he painted the exact same thing, but he was mentally unstable. I don't know, man. I'm starting to believe a lunchbox here. Thank you. About what?

I don't know. He actually saw the starry night. He did. He saw the second one. Is there one or is there two? There's two. I'm so confused. I don't know how you tell which one's first.

Will you please, God dang it, say something to these guys. There are two of them. I've tried to say what. But I don't know which one's the first one. You saw the second one. You saw the sequel. Because the first was not squiggly blurry like that. I saw Home Alone too.

And that's the blurry one. I would say that's the more famous one? You saw Home Alone too. Can I just say, the only one I've ever heard of is this one. I didn't know there was one that's not blurry. Because they're not cultured. Me either, dude. I didn't know it.

I didn't know the difference. I was like, this thing doesn't look as sloppy as I thought. Because I've always thought it was a stupid painting because it's blurry. I thought the scream mask was in it too. I don't know what painting that is. Yeah. Like the mask. What, Amy, go ahead.

Who's Edvard Munch? He's a great man. He is a contiguous. temporary starry night. They're hung. Oh, that's that one. That's the scream by Van Gogh. I thought that was to set.

Yeah. Different painting. I didn't see that one though. That was at the Moomoo. So yours wasn't blurry? Wait, are you just now saying you saw something else? No. No, he saw Story Night.

No, but I thought in that second one, the lunchbox was talking about, the guy's face was the scream face. But it's a different painting altogether. Okay, yeah. So original Starry Night is a... MoMA. No. See?

It is. It is. Starry Night over Rhone was the first one. The Starry Night is the one he painted about the first one. He tried to repaint the exact one again. Listen to what I'm saying. The second one that he painted, he tried to recreate the first one. And that's why it's blurry because he was having mental episodes.

Okay. The one in the MoMA, whatever that is, Museum of Modern Art, is him trying to recreate the first one, the story night over Rhone. But he did, he recreated it all different because he was not having a good episode. I just learned that there's more than one story night right now. Wait, wait, wait, wait, bones. Can I see your picture? So yours is a completely different painting of a different scenario, like a different scene.

Yes, but he tried to repaint. Yours is over water. He tried to repaint the same thing and couldn't. Got it. And the one lunchbox saw was the one where the sky's all twisty. That's why I thought the screen mask was in it. Got it. Got it.

So two different. Yeah, this is, yeah, yeah, okay. That's the first one. One was in 1888. The other was in 1889. So mine was in 88. And his was in. And his is called the story night?

Sorry, Story Night over Rhone. Well, you were leaving that out at the beginning. I don't know. I don't know. Because in the beginning, you kept calling it story night. I'm like, no, I saw Story Night. And so lunchbox, yours is tiny?

Tiny. Okay. Thank you. No. I'm not crazy. The painting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the painting. Oh, okay.

I thought he was full statue. No, we're not back on statues. Okay, got it. Golly. I mean, let me tell you. I'm glad we clear that up because I was so frustrated. Do you still apologize? No, now I'm back.

No, it's still. You still should apologize. No, I did. I apologized for interrupt your story. But then you said, but. But I, no, I did because I wanted you to know I saw a story night. But I, but I said you did. You just didn't see the same one.

It's not the same one. That's why I was confused. I was like, how can there be different ones? But you were leaving off the part of over rub, brab, brumbra. Rone. No, I was leaving all the part where the other one was a sequel. No, I said it the first time. The second one was a version he tried to paint of the, I'm bored of this.

But you have to call it the story night of Rorn. Or else people don't know what you're talking about. If you say Starry Night, they think you saw the one I saw. So, Bones, the one you saw, he was okay mentally. I don't know if he's ever really okay mentally. Better. Yeah. And then the one lunchbox saw, he was not good.

Not good. Got it. And it's small. They call it a bipolar journey. Dang, that's crazy. He's bipolar. I am blown away by this. And he cut his own ear off, right?

Mm-hmm. Oh, man. I think also while he was alive, his stuff was not as sought after. Very poor. Yeah, it was after he died that it became. It's like Selena. Oh man, I would have cleared this all up I'd have read the first line that says

This article is about the 1889 Van Gogh painting For the similar 1888 Van Gogh painting You apologize? What's funny is he goes, the first line See, Starry Night over the Rhone Over Rhone Oh well, I didn't know crap about it either

That's pretty cool though man I didn't know there were two And I was like heyla I was like Where's the Smushies? He's like what do you mean? I mean it gets kind of smushy She's like no no no there's a nut There's a second version

Yours is in focus I was lunchbox like a week ago. But I've always hated this painting because I don't know. Hey, why would you hate that? Because it's blurry. Pay my number. Like if your picture's blurry, guess what you do?

You retake it. Yeah, but he was mentally unfit. But I didn't know that. Retake it. It's not a camera. He painted it with his paint brushes. But I'm saying, so usually if you paint something that's boring, guess what you're going to do? Repaint it.

Not unless it doesn't matter. I'm nothing about art. No, he thought it was in focus, dude. It was just what he was seen. Yeah, he tried to repaint that again. Man, I've never. I've never been. It's not blurry.

You start to convince lunchbox Oh man, look perfectly good to us. I've never been so passionate about art, but I'm so glad I stuck over my police and I saw something. It's defined his energetic brushstrokes. That's pretty cool. Thank you all.

Have a great day. And this is, you know, people say we don't culture you. And I agree with that. Now we know and we'll never get that wrong. I still think somehow we're both wrong. I don't know how that would be, but I still feel like there's a way

that we're all wrong, very wrong. All right, thank you guys, and we'll talk to you soon. Bye. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey,
